This was done in honor of this submission's late husband, SGT Douglas Riney. KIA 10/19/16 in Kabul, Afghanistan after being shot. Gone, but never forgotten. #tributetattoo #veterantattoo #militarytattoo #patriottattoo #veterans#restinpeace #armyveteran #combatveteran

Skate for those who served 🛹🇺🇸 Military Skate Veterans Day 2026 is going down Saturday, Nov 21, from 5–10 PM at the Vans Off The Wall Skatepark in Huntington Beach. ow.ly/XG8X50ZZtup @offmilskate @Vans

This van was his home. Now it’s part of him. This piece is part of Veteran Ink x California Dream, giving veterans the chance to turn their stories into ink. Thank you to Romeo and The California Dream team for bringing every detail to life.

Twenty-five years since September 11th, and pieces like this are exactly why this work matters. This memorial tattoo comes from Joey Hamilton at @revolttattoos — an artist who shows up for our community again and again. Some things deserve a permanent place to live. Never forget.

Bryce Hansen refreshed his "Don't Tread on Me" back piece with Ray Ochoa at California Dream Tattoo — a symbol of defiance since the Revolutionary War. Final reveal coming soon. 🇺🇸 #VeteranInk #Veterans #CaliforniaVeterans

Tim is training for the NYC SEAL Swim. He's swimming to raise awareness for Veteran Ink and Beyond the Brotherhood. Two missions built around helping veterans find their identity, purpose, and community again after the uniform comes off. veteranink.com/beyond-the-br…

This one's a Chinook. Same aircraft as Extortion 17 — the deadliest day in U.S. special operations history. 30 Americans killed on August 6, 2011, including 17 Naval Special Warfare operators. Today we remember them.

Precision runs deeper than the needle. Before Joey Hamilton lays down a single line on a skeletal hand piece, he's studying the bones underneath. That's the difference between a great tattoo and an anatomically correct one💀🦴

Tim's first tattoo, age 16. Mom paid for it. His grandfather Jack — a WWII Marine, a machete gifted by a tribal chief, and a monkey story that got wilder every time it was told. This is how the stories stay alive. #VeteranInk #BehindTheInk #FrirstTattoo

"I wanted something that showed my military service. I decided on combining both the Air Force symbol and the eagle. Both my artist and I agreed that no one has this tat and hopefully never will." #veterantattoo #veteranink #veteranlife #veteranink #militarytattoo #airforce

"Proudly served for 10 years. 9/11 changed the course of my whole career since I joined in 2000. 3 combat tours total and many many crazy stories and made many lifelong friendships" - Derek H. #veterantattoo #veteranink #veteranlife #veteranink #militarytattoo #armytattoo

Memorial piece for the Marines and Sailors I served with in Iraq. The Valknut in the center is for those who didn’t make it home, so that they will find their way to Valhalla. The Vegvisir is for those who were fortunate enough to return home, may never they lose their way.

"Served as a 19K (DAT) Tanker! And my crew decided we’d all get the same pin up tattoo to remember the times together" #veterantattoo #veteranink #veteranlife #veteranink #militarytattoo #usarmy #armytattoo #army

"I got this tattoo after I got out of the Army to commemorate my service and my family's service. The shooting star is for my cousin who passed away while I was away for BCT." #veterantattoo #veteranink #veteranlife #veteranink #militarytattoo #army #armytattoo
